Water main bursts on Flaming Gorge Way

A water main break on Flaming Gorge Way impacted businesses Thursday morning as city workers rushed to repair the pipe.

According to a Facebook post from city administrator Reed Clevenger, the break occurred beneath the intersection of Flaming Gorge Way and North 1st East Street at about midnight Thursday morning, with water flooding down nearby streets. The break occurred when a 2 1/2 foot cast iron pipe burst beneath the street.

“It took some time to find the leak due to the difficulty of locating it through concrete,” Clevenger wrote.
